Sometimes you may think you’ve learned from the past. You may think you know what to look out for, and that the next relationship will be different. But what happens when it isn’t?
This episode of Permission to Leave is another reminder of just how complicated these experiences can be. The things we overlook, convince ourselves that they “aren’t that bad”, and the things we don’t fully realize until we’re looking back.
Our guest from the episode Reclaiming: Independence shares another part of her Domestic Violence experience with us, along with a peak into her healing journey. I hope you’ll take time to listen to some of the lessons she has learned.
I think this is an important conversation, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Thank you for being here. And remember, you have permission to leave your abuser.
What does it take to reclaim your independence after an abusive relationship? In Part 1, Heidi shares her experiences with toxic relationships, emotional abuse, manipulation, and the difficult journey toward recognizing her worth and finding the courage to break free. A story of survival, self-discovery, and learning to choose yourself.
This podcast is a space for survivors of unhealthy, toxic, and abusive relationships to share their lived experiences in whatever way feels right for them. The goal isn't to relive trauma or create sensationalized content. It's to build understanding, offer hope, and remind people that healing is possible.
I’m looking for guests who are interested in sharing their experience. You can remain completely anonymous, and you'll always have control over what you're comfortable sharing.
